Spectacular contemporary Malian wedding blanket by the Fulani weaver Oumar Bocoum. This now elderly weaver seems to have pioneered the development of large scale figurative patterning on blankets that are displayed as prestige hangings for the weddings of important families. An example of Bocoum's work was included major African textile show at the Barbican Art Gallery, London and the Kennedy Centre in 1995. It can be seen in the catalogue on page 65. This piece shows two couples with children. Condition is excellent.
